I cannot say enough good things about this company and their personnel. First there was an in-home consultation with the owner, LeAnna, where they explained their awesome pet-check technology and got to know our animals. We were assigned one dog walker, Jacob, who accompanied LeAnna to our home. With each walk we get photos, comments, and can actually track their walk via their gps!!!! They are licensed, bonded, professional and extremely responsive. I am 100% confident with them in our home and taking care of our pets. It's been a lifesaver and I highly, highly recommend their services!!!! read more

I would leave more stars if I could. LeAnna is truly amazing, she has been such a life saver for me and my dog friend Guendalina. When I first contacted her, I was about to leave the country for an unexpected family emergency, and I was frantically looking for a sitter able to take care of G. for the next few days. Not only did LeAnna accommodate my last-minute request, but she also set up a meeting that same afternoon to meet G. and to review her needs. During my stay abroad, I received updates about G. after every visit, along with pictures and even videos (LeAnna is actually using a system that allows clients to have a personal online account where you can see photos, walk routes, and written notes, and where you can also easily schedule and pay for your walks). When I returned home, G. was very relaxed and content, she looked like she was having the best time! I couldn't have been more grateful for the exceptional service provided by LeAnna. After that, LeAnna has been helping me and G. with regular visits, longer walks, or "taxi service" to the animal clinic (for G.'s subcutaneous fluids) at least three or four times per week. The service has always been excellent. G. (a 13 y. o. minpin/chihuahua mix) is not the friendliest dog, but thanks to LeAnna's patience, kindness, and caring, she's doing great. LeAnna is clearly a true animal lover, she takes such loving care of G., I am so grateful to have met her. I can't say enough good things about her: she's not only incredibly reliable and professional, but also super responsive and very flexible with last minute schedule changes. I cannot recommend her enough, she's absolutely great! read more

They have done an awesome job for us since day one. They are always on time, do a great walk, have even helped train the dog - and our walker is so kind and sweet with our pup. I would recommend them to any of our friends. read more

Brandon, the manager and my dog walker, Aaron,are just wonderful! I am extremely careful when it comes to entrust my pets to someone, but I am very happy with the service and care Hyde Bark provides. It is absolutely clear that they love animals and truly care. Hide Bark has always been very flexible and ready to accommodate my requests. Most recently, my elderly dog got sick and I had to ask them to walk him daily on a very short notice. The manager, Brandon, found the time to talk to me on a Sunday and fit me in to their schedule immediately. Aaron even agreed to carry my 40-pound dog up and down three flights of stairs. My dogs love him and they look very comfortable around him. I highly recommend them! read more

I contacted Hyde Bark the week after adopting my "toddler" pit-mix, and they quickly responded and set up an in-home meet & greet with my pup. I immediately had a comforting feeling when Brandon and the "assigned walker" (Allison) interacted with us in my home. They not only provided information about their services, but also shared info about neighborhood resources such as dog trainers, vet clinics, and dog parks. Moving forward, I was always impressed by their care for my girl - taking adorable pictures, leaving insightful messages or observations, and responding promptly to any communication I initiated. I am sad to move away from Hyde Bark's services, but wholeheartedly recommend them! read more

I love these guys. They were so careful and responsible. They met with me for over an hour to meet my cats and get to know them, to find out how much to feed my cats, how they like to play, where to take out the litter, what times to come, etc etc. I was amazed at all the questions they asked and how much attention they paid to detail. I especially loved that every single day, I got an email with photos of my cats and comments. I totally felt peace of mind so that I could go out of town and know my cats were well cared for. It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely use them again! And, they're local. Who could ask for more? read more

This is one of those organizations that you almost want to give less stars so that people don't catch on how great they are (as in, I want to keep them all for myself ;-)... I absolutely love this group! They are reliable, attentive to details, and really seem to care about their clients (both human and canine). LeAnna and Lyvonne have been wonderful, and really paid attention about what our dogs' needs are. My dogs love Lyvonne and she seems to love them and what she does! The Pet Check technology is such a bonus, and is more than worth the $15 fee. I love having such great documentation of their walks and we have even gotten a few frame-worthy pics from this! I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. We haven't been clients for a very long time but have been thoroughly impressed so far. I'm sure I will be leaving 5-star updates in the future! read more

Can't say enough good things about the folks at HydeBark, especially the owner, LeAnna who is a true professional and is always available to answer questions or address any concerns. I have used HydeBark's services extensively and always feel confident that my crazy Chihuahua is well cared for while I'm away at work. The late evening and weekend hours are incredibly convenient with my ever-changing work schedule. Would recommend HydeBark to absolutely anyone!! read more

I was referred to Hyde Bark by my son when i got my dog which seems long but has been for about two months now. During that time Leanna has shown me that they are not just a dog walking service but also along with her husband Brandon two people that really love what they do and care about the dogs and the dog owners. as a new pet mom i have a habit right now if texting when i have a concern or want her to know something and she responds with no problem. She also has a lot of knowledge when it come to dogs so like now when mine has been showing anxiety she has been one of the helping hands that is helping me to figure it out. I definitely would refer them to anyone that is looking for this type of service. read more

These guys are just the best. Our dog is a beloved family member to us, and is the sweetest, happiest dog ever! When we first met Aaron and LeAnna for the meet-and-greet interview, our high-energy Charlie snuggled into Aaron's lap and immediately fell asleep. They have a special thing going! In addition to Pet Check and the photos, I especially like how Charlie gets to set the pace during each walk. Sometimes she wants to take it slow and take in the sights and sniffs, and sometimes she wants to zoom down the block destroying sticks and stomping in mud. Either way, Charlie comes home extremely happy and usually settles into a dreamy nap after her walks (I know this because I was home on leave but still needed help with walking Charlie, so I saw them come and go often) On a final note, when we welcomed our first baby, Hyde Bark quickly accommodated some last-minute walks while we were in the hospital. Aaron was and continues to be especially sensitive to Charlie's needs during what is surely a stressful time for a doggy as she gets used to a new little human gobbling up the attention that was previously 100% hers. LeAnna and Aaron always go above and beyond, and Charlie LOVES Hyde Bark!! Keep it up guys!! read more

This is the best dog walking/pet care service in the city! I have two large dogs and a senior cat. I love the pet check technology that allows for real time notice when they arrive and depart plus pictures of the walk or of my kitty while I'm away. LeAnna is fantastic to work with and I have complete trust of her as well as who she trains and hires. Super responsible and professional. Thanks LeAnna for being a fantastic south side business! read more

I cannot overstate how wonderful Hyde Bark is! We've had them for daily dog walks for a few weeks now and we couldn't be happier. Very reasonable prices, excellent communication, and all around incredible people. Both the dog and us are so grateful for them! Highly highly recommend! read more

Hyde Bark Dog Walking is absolutely amazing! I love getting my email with pictures of what the dogs are doing on their walks. LeAnna's husband has done great job taking care of my pups and shows them individual care and affection which is so nice. I highly recommend hyde bark dog walking! read more

Hyde Bark was an awesome service! The local business was friendly, communicative, and most importantly great with my pet. Totally recommend getting in contact if you need any services from a quick feed to a long walk for your pet. read more

I love Hyde Park, but one of the side effects of living in such an isolated neighborhood is that you only get a few options for anything - restaurants, grocery stores, and in my case, pet-sitting. I tried another service for my first time leaving my cats, and I wasn't thrilled. Hyde Bark came on the scene roughly the same time I moved to the neighborhood, so by the time I needed a cat sitter again, I'd seen their flyers around the neighborhood. I checked out their website and yes! they provided cat sitting as well as dog walking, so I called them up. I have always dealt with LeAnna, and she is always prompt, responsive, and ready to go the extra mile. I LOVE the PetCheck technology, so not only do I get an alert when she arrives, but she always sends me a brief message and a few pictures with her check-out email. But what really puts Hyde Bark over the top is what happened this week. One of my cats, Lazarus, had an emergency vet visit on Monday and a CT scan Tuesday that uncovered a mass in his jaw. He came home with round-the-clock pain meds, which I couldn't administer at the appropriate times because I was at work. For that reason (and because I hated to leave him alone all day when he just came home from the emergency vet), I scheduled a visit for Wednesday afternoon and asked LeAnna to take a look at him and give him his meds. While she was there, LeAnna gave him lots of attention (granted, he was demanding it, and he's hard to refuse), and texted me to ask if she could open my windows so he could enjoy the beautiful weather. THEN I got a text from her TODAY, asking how he is. Clearly, all of Hyde Bark's clients are treated like family, and I only trust my pets to people who understand that they are family. I'm so glad they're my neighbors and my trusted cat sitters! read more

My dog is my baby and I would not trust him with just anybody. LeAnna is not just anybody - she is absolutely wonderful with him. They respond right away, come when they say they will, are flexible with last-minute changes, and most importantly, are good people. I love that I always get a picture of my little guy on his walk, along with a report. Hyde Bark is as good as it gets! read more

I can't say enough good things about Hyde Bark Walking. LeAnna and Lyvonne are amazing with my little pups. They love Lvyonne and look forward to seeing her everyday. They have also spent time with her when I am out of town. They are extremely responsive, loving, warm, and reliable. The fact that I get pictures of my pups and a detailed description of the visit right away, is amazing. I love this company and would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

I'm not sure who loves them more---me or my dogs! Two big dogs + busy schedule means I need someone reliable and trust worthy to help me out. LeAnna and Brandon are it! I appreciate the consistency, the respect (for me and the dogs) and the really great communication. I always now what's happening with my pups and I know LeAnna and Brandon really do love and care for my two! read more

I can't recommend Hyde Bark highly enough! They are reliable and affectionate professionals. We use their service occasionally, but making a reservation is so easy by using Pet Check Technology. Pet Check one time sign-up fee is definitely worth it. With its app, I can see when the walker checks in and out, the course they walk, and pictures of my dog during the walk in real time. I found about them in yelp, too, and now I tell you: their perfect 5 stars is real. read more

I love this company! I've been using them for a few months now and they're fantastic. Aaron is our walker and we love him! The pups were immediately drawn to him. LeAnn is very good at getting back to us via email or text. They're also great at working with last minute requests. I'd definitely recommend them! read more

This company takes great care of plants, too! I contacted Hyde Bark Dog Walking because I was desperate trying to find a local service that could take care of my plants while we were on vacation as none of our neighbors/friends was able to help out. LeAnna promptly emailed me back and said she's never had this request before but she'd be happy to accommodate. And accommodate she did! She was super professional, followed all my instructions and even texted me every time she stopped by with a brief update. She kept an eye on our place, our mail and our plants, and we really felt in good hands. I can highly recommend her and will hire her again next time we go on a trip. read more
